Historic Overview
The “Premier 110” also gives us a clear glimpse of what is now a crumbling, double set of Corinthian columns from an as yet unidentified temple or ruin. A double set. It has been observed that this is possibly a unique occurrence of Corinthian columns within this medium.
The most popularly used disposable cup in the industry, the “Anthora” design is just one of seven and can be recognized by the motto “we are happy to serve you” printed above representations of three steaming cups of coffee. The design was originally introduced by the Sherri Cup Company in 1963 and quickly established itself as their biggest seller. In the year 2004, more than 15 million Anthora coffee cups were produced every month. As for the Greek motif, a Sherri employee explains, “At the time, most of the diners and delis were Greek-owned, so the design, by an employee Leslie Buck, was a natural.”
In contemporary analysis, the throwing or breaking plates is, to this day, an expression of happiness or pleasure in many Greek or Greek-American homes and business establishments.
Leslie Buck was a cup company employee who emigrated from Czechoslovakia in 1947 designed the cup and named it for the urns that can be seen in his design. “Anthora” is a typo. See amphora. Mr. Buck apparently had inspiration from an article on a sunken Greek ship. He now lives in Marina Del Ray, Florida.
